Self-Publish Your Photo Book
A Great Way To Show And Share Your Images
by Joe Farace

 Most photographers dream of accomplishing two things in the publishing world: The first is having their work featured in a national publication such as Shutterbug, National Geographic, or maybe Playboy and the second is showcasing their photography in a coffee table book. I can’t help you with that first goal but I sure can with the second. Even though I am author or co-author of 30 books produced by several different book publishers, some of my recent books has been self-published and the reasons for doing so are the same reasons that I’m going to suggest you try self-publishing.

“Frankencamera” Could Revolutionize Photography
 by Ron Leach, Publisher

How-To
Hands-On Exposure Control
Creative Metering For Expressive Results
by Ibarionex R. Perello

 When I began as a photographer, my biggest concern with metering was having an image that just “came out.” That simply meant that the exposure was accurate and the image wasn’t severely under or overexposed. If I had a decent exposure from which I could make a good print, that was all that mattered.

Many effects filters previously available for the lens are now easily added using software. However, some photographers still use UV or Sky filters for lens protection, and a polarizer, grad and ND filters as light modifiers. Do you still work with filters over the lens?
Please comment briefly on the filters you think are useful. If you shoot IR please mention your favorite IR filters.
